EDIT 2018-06-27: Stretch-Live has systemd installed, but boots by default without it, so there's choice to use it or not. For those who are absolutely anti systemd see:

EDIT: 2018-02-01 Instructions for how to make it work on FatDog
With aufs support and porteus-boot style included
It's required to have at least 3 GB free space and to run the script on a Linux filesystem, e.g. ext4
Should work running from any Debian based OS, I tested on Stretch Dog 32 and 64 bit.
Similar to This (for Jessie) but this is **way** better, easier, faster! (using debootstrap)
Just download and run This 'mklive-stretch' script
Before running, make it executable:
Code: Select all
chmod +x mklive-stretch
Code: Select all
./mklive-stretch
Update 2017-08-26: Choice of Desktop Environments (GUI only), more info: Here
Updates: Added DDog, Kiosk and DE choice with CLI
And two more choices
Packages overview from custom repository
Run from terminal:
Code: Select all
./mklive-stretch -gui
Wait... and.. That's all ! (except for some questions to answer and to set the root password during the build)
Took for me 15 minutes to create ISO, size: 164 MB (xz compressed squashfs) on a 10 year old HP laptop (dual core) and a medium fast internet connection.
See for much more information Here
Packages available from custom repository, see Here
This may not be considered as just a howto, but as a project that can grow, e.g. extend the script by calling other scripts e.g. for having choice of different window-managers, desktop environments, applications. Better use of git may be the best (but not my strongest point).
So development depends on the interest, feedback and help from anyone. This is anyway some sort of base concept (that can be changed also, of course).

Thanks to everyone who recommended debootstrap, it's a very convenient and fast method.
A full netinstall is less minimal, more basic software included which is an advantage in a way
(using debootstrap you'll have to watch more carefully not to make it 'too minimal')
